I was born in 84 if that makes you feel better

 

Great year 84.
Disc brake on the Xr350!! (only front)
Pity I had an 83...

 

Well see now you did it, I was fine with not showing it again, but here you go. [8D][8D][8D]



By the way, that is me in 1982 I'm the one in the middle..........OMG, I just realized that wasn't 1982, see that leather jacket I'm wearing? That was a gift from my first wife, and that was in the late 80's. All this time I thought this picture was from before I got married, and now that jacket gives it away. By the way I still have that jacket. Crap! another dead give away, I was skinny and that means it was when I went on the divorce diet, not recommending it by the way.

Married now again for 14 years, and its all good now.

Well I might as well throw in a couple more nostalgic photos and get them all out of the way at once.

In 1982 I got my first car, 1971 Firebird. Bought it from my Aunt for $600.00 What a deal huh. It was spotless.



Late 80's...........hmmm maybe this is why my first wife left me.



1984 Yamaha 750, man that was a cool bike. That was when Japanese bikes still looked good, before all the plastic

 

Dang! I graduated in 1982.........I probably got underwear older than you........was that out loud?[8D]

 

If so that is nasty Deej. My first bike was the RT100 not long after i went to a Husy 125 but my dad made me sell it because it was a death trap for a 13 year old.

 

ahh tripping down memory lane, nice! cool bike neil, was that the first year for the swing arm instead of shocks?

 

yea i was born in 84 too lol. my first bike was a tall dirtbike like that but i don't remember what kind, i know it was bright green with a white number plate on the side tho. i think it was a kawi but i'm not sure, my dad didn't let me have it for long tho lol. i wasn't tall enough to get on it and it was my first bike even before a bicycle so it had training wheels for awhile lol, first to balance then i needed to keep them on it so i could climb on the bike without it falling over.

 

I was born in 1983, and here's a pic of the first bike I owned. I wish it was a pic of my ACTUAL bike but it was stolen from my garage. Maybe if I look through the scrapbook I can find one. It was a 1979 Honda 50 I bought off my best friend when he bought an 80. I used to ride that thing everyday until I hit reserve!

 

My first real bike (I don't count a Briggs & Stratton powered minibike) looked like this one, a1972 Yamaha DT100.Think I was about 14 at the time, bought it with money I had earned over the summer. Sure not a screamer but fun just the same....






Happy days indeed....

 

My first "REAL" bike was a Hodaka also. A "combat wombat"
Dam, I loved that bike, I think it was a 73, I had it in 77.
Those were the days,
cheap cars, fast motorcyles, and sexy girls !!
